Size: 50 x 65 cm; Paper Weight: 160 gsm; Finish: Black; Texture: Dual texture with smooth one side and textured on the other; Composition: Acid-free; Benefits: Superior grip for pastel and chalk particles and high-contrast results.

This paper is designed for dry media such as pastels and charcoal. Wet media can cause buckling, warping, or uneven absorption. If you must work with wet media, use minimal moisture and allow areas to dry fully before continuing.

For the strongest pigment adhesion and texture, start with the rugged, textured side to maximize grip. Use the smooth side for finer blending and detailed lines. You can test both sides on a scrap area to see which look you prefer.

Use a sharp craft knife and a metal ruler on a cutting mat. Place the sheet on a stable surface, score lightly if needed, then cut slowly with even pressure. Support the sheet edges to prevent slipping.

Store flat in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight. Use archival-safe sleeves or portfolios to protect the surface from dust and oils. Since the paper is acid-free, it’s designed for archival longevity when stored properly.

Ideal for high-contrast pastel and charcoal drawings, expressive designs with metallic or bright colors on a dark background, and mixed-media pieces where a dramatic tonal base is desired.
